Uranium Digital, a startup focused on creating a spot trading platform for uranium, has successfully raised $6.1 million in a seed round led by Framework Ventures. The platform, which will utilize Solana's blockchain technology, aims to establish the first institutional-grade market for trading tokenized uranium, specifically yellowcake, a powdered form of uranium oxide concentrate. The funding will accelerate the development of Uranium Digital's platform, which is designed to meet the growing demand for nuclear energy amid its global comeback. The company's founder, Alex Dolesky, highlighted the need for a more efficient trading system for uranium, a commodity critical for clean energy that has been hindered by high regulations and low mainstream demand. Dolesky emphasized the use of crypto infrastructure to create a platform that feels familiar to institutional clients.
